  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Informed consent document and HIPAA privacy document must be read, signed and dated by the patient or legally authorized representative before conducting any procedures.
  • Patients (minimum age 18) with dry eye. Criteria for the diagnosis must include the following characteristics:
  • Positive response to the question, "Do you ever feel your eyes?";
  • Baseline LLT value of ≤75nm (OU), not varying by more than ±15 nm over the course of a 10-minute observation period, difference in LLT between the two eyes must be ≤15nm, and increase in LLT after three forceful blinks must be ≤15nm.
  • Patients must have best-corrected Snellen visual acuity of 20/70 or better in each eye.
  • Able and willing to follow study instructions.

Who cannot join

  • Use of topical ocular drops within 12 hours of the study visit; or use of a topical ocular ointment within 36 hours of the study visit. In addition, use of any concomitant topical ocular drugs during the study period.
  • History or evidence of ocular or intraocular surgery in either eye within the past six months.
  • History or evidence of serious ocular trauma in either eye within the past six months.
  • History of intolerance or hypersensitivity to any component of the study medications.
  • History of and/or current evidence of glaucoma or ocular hypertension in either eye.
  • History of and/or current evidence of active intraocular inflammation in either eye (i.e., retina/macula/choroid).
Show all 13Show fewer
  • History or evidence of epithelial herpes simplex keratitis (dendritic keratitis); vaccinia; active or recent varicella viral disease of the cornea and/or conjunctiva; ocular rosacea; chronic bacterial disease of the cornea and/or conjunctiva and/or eyelids; mycobacterial infection of the eye; and/or fungal disease of the eye.
  • Ocular conditions such as active acute blepharitis, conjunctival infections, iritis, conjunctival abnormalities (including pinguecula greater than 1mm in diameter, located closer than 2mm to the limbus or elevated more than 0.2mm), eyelid abnormalities (including entropion and ectropion) or any other ocular condition that may, in the opinion of the investigator, preclude the safe administration of the test articles.
  • Patients using systemic medications that may contribute to dry eye (e.g. cold and allergy medications, tricyclic antidepressants, hormone replacement therapies) may not be enrolled in the study unless they have been on a stable dosing regimen for a minimum of 30 days prior to the study visit.
  • Any ocular or systemic medical condition that might influence the tear film (other than dry eye).
  • Individuals unwilling to discontinue contact lens wear during the study period. Contact lens wear must have been discontinued a minimum of 12 hours prior to the study visit.
  • Individuals unwilling to discontinue use of cosmetics (such as eyeliner, mascara or eye shadow) or facial creams on or around the eyelids on the day of the study.
  • Participation in an investigational drug or device study within 30 days of entering this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FID 114657 and OPTIVE Lubricant Eye Drops in people with Dry Eye, run by Alcon Research.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

lipid layer thickness (time frame: Instill assigned test article to the right eye and begin timing the examination process. Measure lipid layer thickness at 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes and 60 minutes post instillation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Feb 2012.
